Portugal is the 3rd most popular destination for Brits to buy abroad (" A place in the sun " magazine). Let's find out why.

 Spain2010 position 1Once again, Spain remains the most popular destination for Brits to buy abroad and therefore tops our chart of the best places to buy abroad in 2011. After all, it has all the right ingredients – excellent access from the UK, sun, sea, culture and infrastructure. With repossessed properties and distressed sales hitting the market, the home of the Costas, Balearic and Canary Islands still has some great deals for the diligent buyer. Huge discounts on holiday homes mean there’s a multitude of destinations and property options on offer. We highlight where to find the best deals and meet the British couple for who 2010’s infamous ash cloud meant they missed out on a property in Murcia only to return later to find a better deal. We show you some properties on offer in this region with golf-resort apartments from €90K.

2. France2010 position 3From the chic, sunny south to the lush, rural north, France’s appeal lies in its rich culture and gastronomy, its diverse landscape and excellent accessibility from the UK. Ever popular as a place to move to permanently as much as somewhere to own a second home, it will always be a favourite among overseas property buyers. We show you homes here from only £67K.

3. Portugal2010 position 4The Algarve, both east and west, and the Silver Coast have some idyllic unspoilt spots for second homes, thanks to the country’s conservational approach to tourist developments. And compared to other countries, in particular its next-door neighbour, property prices have remained relatively buoyant. While golf is one of Portugal’s major draws, we reveal how friendly-family beach resorts are just as appealing and ensure a strong rental market. We show you how you could own a slice of a luxury designer apartment from just £112K.

Portugal é o terceiro melhor país do mundo para investir numa segunda habitação, de acordo com a escolha dos leitores da revista britânica de imobiliário "A Place in the Sun".

Os motivos apontados pelos ingleses são, entre outros, a existência de lugares idílicos no país, o sol, a praia, os campos de golfe e os preços atractivos das habitações nacionais.

Como regiões mais aprazíveis para uma segunda habitação a revista destaca o Algarve, em particular a zona costeira que vai de Faro a Lagos, o Alentejo (Costa Azul) e o Litoral Centro (Costa da Prata).
